Zhou Xuanwu reacted in time and followed closely behind Wang Teng. He charged toward the pope. This was a rare chance!
Wang Teng waited for a long time before he found this opportunity. If the pope remained vigilant right from the start, he wouldn't have gotten tricked so easily.
You could say that luck played a huge role in this result.
Of course, Wang Teng's shamelessness helped a lot too. Someone like Zhou Xuanwu would never think of a despicable trick like using poison.
The pope was so frustrated that he wanted to vomit blood. He realized that if he used his Force, it would hasten the speed at which the poison invaded his body.
However, he didn't have a choice. If he didn't use his Force, he would die. Wang Teng and Zhou Xuanwu wouldn't let him go easily.
The pope's mind worked furiously. He quickly made a decision.
He… turned and ran away!
Run!
He must escape!
If there was life, there was hope!
